While we were off of class this week, I spent some time looking for social studies resources that pertain to what I may be teaching in the future. I looked for where I can find lesson plan ideas, hands on projects, teaching materials, historical archives, and other teacher resources. Some of my past favorite websites with compiled subject ideas are Pinterest and Teachers Pay Teachers. I also found a new great resource called Classroom Aid.
Pinterest is a popular form of social media which is comprised of "pinning" ideas to save to use that may interest you for future use. On this site you can search specifically for ideas/pins or even follow others who pin similar ideas that you like. There are endless ideas!
Teachers Pay Teachers is a website where teachers upload various teaching tools they have created for others to download. They are sorted according to price, grade, and subject. There are plenty of free social studies mini-lessons, projects, units, etc. It is great to find resources made by real teachers since it can give you new perspectives and ideas, and it may be more effective if it has been used in the classroom before.
A new website that I found is called Classroom Aid . This website has links to many other websites that have library archives, interactive maps, documentaries, teacher blogs, and social studies games. Check it out!
